DURHAM -- A number of local riders have been named to the 2013 Canadian national eventing team.

Michele Mueller of Port Perry and Jessica Phoenix, formerly of Uxbridge, are among 11 riders named to the short list. The short list is comprised of horse/rider combinations with results that show they are successfully representing Canada in international competition.

A trio of riders was also named to the long list and have the potential to make the short list based on their results. They include Diana Burnett of Blackstock (Shigatzi, Diamond Cut III), Ian Roberts of Port Perry (Faolan) and Cody Sturgess, also of Port Perry (Imperial Melody).
